The field of log analysis and fault localization is moving towards increased adoption of large language models (LLMs) and multi-agent systems to improve accuracy and efficiency. Researchers are exploring the use of LLMs to automate tasks such as crash root cause localization, log-based anomaly detection, and feature engineering. These approaches have shown promising results, including improved accuracy and reduced manual effort. Notably, the use of LLMs and multi-agent systems enables more interpretable and transparent results, which is critical for real-world applications. The development of novel frameworks and algorithms, such as those integrating finite state machines with generative flow networks, is also advancing the field. Overall, the field is shifting towards more automated, efficient, and interpretable approaches to log analysis and fault localization. Noteworthy papers include: Finding the Needle in the Crash Stack, which proposes an LLM agent for crash root cause localization, and CodeAD, which presents a framework for synthesizing lightweight Python rule functions for log-based anomaly detection using LLMs. FELA, a multi-agent evolutionary system for feature engineering, is also noteworthy for its ability to autonomously extract meaningful features from complex industrial event log data.
